Studies explore the ecology of intertidal and
subtidal benthic communities with specific interest in community
biodiversity and how it is affected by biogeography, the local seascape,
species interactions, benthic-pelagic coupling, bioinvasions and climate
change. Emphasis on the context-dependency (seascape and coastal
oceanographic conditions) of biodiversity, predation and the supply of
larvae on the rocky shore, and how these three aspects interact with each
other and are affected by environmental influences. Interest also in the
ecology and conservation of coral reefs.
